Cowan Family History Ayrshire
« on: Wednesday 13 June 18 20:22 BST (UK) »
I have recently started researching my family tree as I feel like it is interesting.
I made a start with my father's Grandfather, John Young Cowan, son of Thomas Cowan and Mary Young.
Thomas Cowan was a Gardener and he and Mary Young married in 1926 in Dundonald, living at Gillside Cottage, the home of Mary Youngs parents, lived in by her father,John Young a Carter and Annie Young (Agnes) maiden name Hart. Mary's full name before marriage was Mary Bryden Hart Young. This is where I start to become stuck.. Thomas Cowans parents were James Cowan, a plumber and his mother, Wilhelmina, maiden name McClounic. The parents of Thomas resided in Bay House, North Shore, Troon.
At marriage, Thomas was 24 and Mary was 19.
I am struggling at this point as I cannot find any information for Wilhelmina McClounie and the other parents. Any help would be appreciated.
